Bill overview
The PROTECT Students Act of 2025 aims to strengthen protections for students and borrowers in higher education, particularly at for-profit institutions. It provides the Department of Education with greater authority to regulate gainful employment programs, borrower defense to repayment, and closed school discharges. The bill also prohibits institutions from restricting student legal action or withholding transcripts, requires them to spend at least 30% of tuition on instruction, and establishes an enforcement unit to investigate complaints and ensure institutional accountability. Furthermore, it includes provisions for increased oversight, transparency, and improved data tracking related to student aid programs.
